The V.O.G.W. Foundation depends on financial help from companies and donations from civilians.
The members of staff are not paid for their work, but the foundation still needs financial support to keep things going. We have been very lucky in the past in finding some contributors but financing a foundation like V.O.G.W. poses recurring problems. So we are always happy to welcome new contributors.
Do you think, as we do, that V.O.G.W. is doing a good job, and would you like to support us? Become a contributor!
There are several ways to donate money.
First of all your own bank will be able to arrange an international money order and make it payable to our account nr. 7775617 using BIC-code: INGBNL2A (also called swiftcode) in combination with the IBAN-code: NL55INGB0007775617.
Another way of making a donation is by sending money in cash by post, including a letter with your name and address. This may not be the safest way but for many non-Dutch residents it certainly is the easiest way. This is because banks in the Netherlands have difficulties accepting cheques.
Thirdly, you can contact our representative in England (see Contact).
You are free to donate whatever and whenever you want. Every contributor will receive a personal card which proves the donation did arrive.
It is also possible for companies or civilians to adopt a War Grave for the foundation. This means your donation covers the activities of the foundation for at least one year for one War Grave. Do you want to know more about this option? Please write to us and we will answer all your questions.
Do you want to donate items from World War II? They are more than welcome. Please let us know what items you would like to donate and we will respond as soon as possible.
We look forward to hearing from you!
